What is the incubation period for a poison ivy rash? Dermatologists suggest that the first exposure to poison ivy has an incubation period of about five to 21 days before the rash appears. However, repeated exposure to poison ivy results in the rash appearing more quickly (about 12-48 hours).
No, the poison ivy blisters are the caused by the body's natural allergic reaction to the plants. If the blisters break and ooze, the fluid does not contain the oil that causes spreading. The rash-causing oil, called urushiol, from the original contact with poison oak and poison ivy will continue spreading (unless removed) for the first one or two days. It is found in in all parts of poison ivy, oak and sumac plants whether dead, dormant or thriving.
